Macro Photography



Most of my photos were taken either in my house or my yard. I had trouble finding sun 
in my backyard to enhance the quality of my pictures. I eventually went on a walk to find sun but none of them really turned out the way I wanted to. What i would do to improve my pictures is take my pictures earlier in the morning so i could have sun, but also have a sunrise in the background.
